CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Furious celestial lightning crashed from the tumultuous sky. Minutes passed swiftly as the relentless bolts fell, piercing through the ice dome with deafening roars and striking a solitary figure in the center of the clan.
Once green and muscular, the woman was now covered in red and cracks across her body. However, her eyes remained steadfast, and she stood unmoving under the shower of electric light. With each impact, the earth trembled violently, and the clan’s buildings crumbled amid the chaos.
All the cerberuses of the clan watched in shock, witnessing a devastating celestial tribulation. This surpassed by two levels what the strongest among them had ever faced at that same cultivation realm. Not even the current clan leader had experienced anything of this magnitude back when he entered the Heaven Stage.
After the collapse of all the buildings and the clan reduced to rubble, the skies opened again, returning to the natural opaque gray of the abyss. At that moment, the still shocked cerberuses were awakened by the clan leader.
"Finally, at..." The leader began to speak but swallowed his words halfway, feeling his entire existence being subdued.
With no time to look up, it wasn’t just the sky that darkened; all the light in the world went out, and their bodies trembled as they struggled not to kneel.
Kabom!!!!
The heavens roared, and celestial laws concentrated entirely on a man floating alone in the center of the clan. It was Almin, who sighed lightly, but in his mind, there was only endless panic. How the hell am I going to survive this? His words echoed incessantly in his mind.
An electric current snaked through the dark world like a black dragon, and everyone below felt the area of tribulation expanding. Despair seized them.
"We... We’re going to die!" murmured one of them, visibly frightened.
Then, in the same second, right in front of the astonished cerberuses, the earth opened, and a fissure several meters wide appeared and expanded. Slowly, a round body emerged, displaying a calm expression, with a girl with bright eyes on his back.
Ruri jumped and ran excitedly towards Langrum, who was being supported by Loeus a little distance away. The cerberuses felt the girl’s cultivation and were incredulous; they could hardly breathe as she ran cheerfully as if nothing was happening.
Almin saw the whale approach and cast him a pleading look of despair while the skies roared and prepared to collapse.
"Here it is. Grab it quickly!" The whale spoke and activated its Qi, shooting something in Almin’s direction.
All cerberuses would have jumped in surprise if they could; was he insane? Immediately, the skies marked the whale. However, they felt that the area of tribulation was increasing every second, and soon, they, too, would be marked by death.
Almin took the impact directly to his chest, and his clothes tore as a scarlet rune appeared. The eight infernal wings sprouted on his back, flapping once before disintegrating. At that moment, the rune on his chest glowed and then disappeared.
’Great, the infernal rune from that cerberus fused perfectly into him. Not destroying the soul was the right choice.’ murmured Bruno, satisfied.
Then, Alm, who controlled the body, roared. "Stop being a coward, attack now!"
Almin leaped with his eyes almost shedding tears... was he insane, or did Goku want to kill him? In the face of the whale’s bloodthirsty gaze, he simply swallowed hard and unleashed all the firepower he possessed.
The cerberuses saw the world suddenly light up in red, and everyone who was struggling not to fall to the ground collapsed immediately in shock at what they saw. That human attacked the heavens? They didn’t want to believe it.
The whale snorted as it saw the enraged clouds and all the power multiply. Then, it leaped forward, and Alm activated his infernal rune.
"Swallow this," Alm murmured and threw a punch upwards, violently dispersing all the remaining clouds.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
The souls of all cerberuses seemed to leave their bodies with the furious explosion from the clouds. Murmurs spread as they felt their souls being subjected; it was a celestial punishment!
However, the clan leader immediately realized that the entire sky was focused only on these two suicidal figures ahead. The heavens stopped expanding their area of effect and began to focus angrily on them.
The whale arrived a few meters from Almin and spoke dryly through the array. ’I will absorb only the Qi; the celestial power, you must use to create your root. If you can’t resist it, you may die right here.’
Almin trembled; celestial power was precisely all the destructive fury, but at the same time, it was what refined and created the spiritual root. The whale had already warned him to wait for its command before breaking through, letting Langrum go first. That way, he could grab and deliver that rune as a gift; and that gift would be essential in the future, along with his spiritual root.
But at the present moment, if he wanted to go to the divine realm and find a cure for Lyra, he had to form a perfect spiritual root. Otherwise, it would be useless. Only this permeated Almin’s mind, giving him strength.
CRACK! CRACK!
The space began to fracture before the hundreds of black lightning bolts that formed, pointing towards the two figures below. Almin sighed while the whale grinned sinisterly. The cerberuses were already on the ground, kneeling and catatonic; meanwhile, Ruri watched the luminous spectacle with excitement.
The first bolts broke through the barrier between realms, bringing with them a divine intensity that made the contours of reality oscillate. Each impact carried a sense of judgment day. The heavens and the ground seemed to explode, and the laws of the abyss evaporated before the divine force that knew no mercy.
BOOM!!
Following the initial onslaught, all the hundreds of black bolts fell together, giving no chance for escape or defense.
BOOM!!
The world plunged into total darkness, coldness, and a disturbing silence, without sound, light, or warmth, only destruction.
Minutes later, the sensation of still being alive ran through everyone within the clan.
Then, as their senses began to return to function, they saw the total blackness gradually replaced by... a celestial and divine blue...
The cerberuses looked up slowly and saw a round figure illuminated by a disturbing and immaculate energy around it.
The whale made a gesture, and the figure of an unconscious man appeared, being thrown away and falling like a dead weight in front of the green woman, who furrowed her brows.
Still hovering above, he sighed slowly and raised his arm high. Suddenly, emerging from the void, a gigantic bone club appeared, emanating infinite pressure. Then, the whale’s lips moved, but no one on the ground heard his words.
"Now it’s filled with Qi. Let’s use it all."
The whale closed his eyes gently as the gigantic bone club lit up. All the cerberuses on the ground felt their bloodlines running in a frenzy in their veins and their hearts beating uncontrollably.
Then, above that giant bone, the space seemed to shatter like glass. A crack opened in the center, revealing an internal darkness that seemed to contain the entire demonic and mystical essence of the universe.
A smile broke on the whale’s face as he opened his eyes, and a voice echoed like a cry of extreme excitement for everyone to hear.
"Boss, it worked! It’s the entrance to the underworld!"
The sound was being propagated through the Qi, and everyone could feel that it came from inside that terrifying giant bone weapon. Meanwhile, the cerberus leader froze, recognizing that voice in disbelief.
It all lasted for five seconds, then the whale’s eyes narrowed, and he looked up incredulously, sensing something abnormal and shocking.
’This... is the power of faith?’ Bruno spoke confusedly. ’It’s being... DRAWN TOWARDS US?’
Everyone on the ground saw the whale, radiating a celestial blue, staring at that opening with wide eyes.
Then, coming from inside the portal, the world completely lost its color, and their visions were covered by an infinite celestial blue... that increased... and increased... and increased... it just kept intensifying, making everyone feel like they were almost going blind.
It took minutes for everything to stop and stabilize... then, everything was slowly fading away...
When the vision became minimally clear, the cerberuses looked up, their pupils dilating in disbelief at the sight. There was the familiar round figure, he was the epicenter of the celestial world, but something beyond their comprehension rose behind him, a distorted shadow that seemed to defy the laws of the universe.
The shadow twisted and changed into something... equally incomprehensible and blurry...
At that moment, a tremor passed through all the cerberuses, a reverberation echoing from the whale to the weakest cerberus. It was as if the shadow were a reflection of their own essence, a distant echo of an ancestral power.
And then, as if unveiling from a celestial veil, the shadow metamorphosed into a third form. Now, everyone saw clearly; revealing another colossal figure that made the hearts of those present pulsate with a mixture of reverence and fear.
It rose in all its grandeur, shrouded in a cloak of divine darkness that radiated an indescribable and infinite power. But what impressed most were its two canine heads! Fierce and majestic, they seemed capable of devouring stars and challenging even the gods!

The whale, seen through the eyes of the cerberuses, conveyed a singular calm and tranquility, as if looking at them with tenderness, seeing them as simple and awkward children. Its round eyes reflected a blend of affection and demonic ferocity. In the face of that celestial power, everyone connected and felt, without a shadow of a doubt, that the figure in front and the shadow behind were the same person. Tears flooded their eyes.
In unison, all the cerberuses bowed and crawled towards him, as if guided by a higher force. Alm and Bruno watched, perplexed and unable to fully comprehend what they were witnessing.
As they approached, the cerberuses assumed human form and prostrated themselves before the divine whale. Then, in a unified cry that echoed with the full force of their bodies and souls, they proclaimed in reverence and devotion.
"We hail the CERBERUS GOD! We are your loyal servants, ready to follow your commands until the end of time!"
’WHAT?!’ Alm and Bruno exclaimed simultaneously.
Turning to the side, they found Ruri smiling, while Langrum and Loeus observed them curiously. However, they noticed that the eyes of the latter changed direction, focusing behind Alm and Bruno. Intrigued, they turned in the same direction, only to be surprised.
"HOLY CRAP!" Alm and Bruno shouted at the same time.
The divine power of faith was merging and fusing with them. With this fusion, their forms seemed to reflect the origin of this power, revealing the true face of the deity worshipped by their followers.
There were three forms that changed and twisted in a strange way...
’A Divine Skeleton! Celestial Robot God! And... Cerberus?!’ Bruno said, unable to hide his surprise.
